The set consists of an Agilent 1200 liquid chromatograph (Agilent Technologies, Waldboronn, Germany) with a tandem mass spectrometer (QTRAP5500, Applied Biosystems, Sciex; Concorde, ON, Canada) equipped with a triple quadrupole and a linear ion trap.
The QTRAP spectrometer is equipped with a triple quadrupole, in which the second analyzer can work interchangeably as a quadrupole and an ion trap. It is therefore characterized by high sensitivity and enables operation in the following modes: Q1 MS, Q3 MS, Product Ion, Precursor Ion, Neutral Loss or Gain, MRM, EMS, EPI, ER, MS3, MRM3, TripleTrap Scanning. Perfect for metabolite identification, MRM based quantification. It provides excellent selectivity and measurement speed. In the case of this spectrometer, it is possible to record MS3 spectra for i.a. quantitative analyzes.
The laboratory is equipped with three AB Sciex mass spectrometers: MALDI TOF / TOF 5800, TripleTOF 5600+, QTRAP 6500, as well as the CESI 8000 Plus (Sciex) capillary electrophoresis system.
